“The proponent was invited to the meeting to provide required clarification. The proponent remained absent.

The committee observed that the quarry site is 500 m from the inter-state boundary. Also, already many proposals in this village are cleared by the committee. If the quarry site is located within 5Kms from the inter-state boundary, and if the total lease area exceeds 5 ha, it attracts general conditions of the EIA Notification. In such case the activity requires Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India.

41

“Project Proponent along with Environment Consultant presented the proposal in the 119th Special meeting held on 1st October 2014.

The activity is an extraction of sand from Bhima river (excluding water course).

1. As proposed by proponent the extraction of the sand is done only during non-monsoon season when there is lean flow in the river.

2. The process proposed is a manual operation. 3. The PP proposes to extract only 1 m depth of sand, which is equal to

replenishment of sand which takes place in this water course in 5 years as admitted by PP during the presentation.

4. There are no sensitive locations in 5km distance around the sand mining area.

5. All preventive measures suggested by MoEF are considered in the proposal. 6. PP stated that there are no structures such as bridges and retaining walls

across/ along the above water course which are susceptible to erosion. 7. As stated by PP, the extracted sand will not be carried through any village

or habitation. However, PP was asked to furnish on the day of meeting, a key plan indicating approach road to the proposed site. PP submitted Toposheet/key map with marking of location of site & approach road.

8. PP stated that the EMP submitted is sufficient to mitigate the adverse effects, if any, due to sand mining.

Observations of the Committee:

1. PP was advised to plant Terminalia arjuna (Holemathi), Sygigium cumini (Nerale), Pongamia pinnata (Honge), Mangifera indica (Mango), Vitis nigandu (Lakki) and Agave to strengthen the river banks and on road sides Madhuca indica (Hippe), Holoptelia integrifolia (Thapasvi), Hardwickia binata (Anjana), Acacia ferruginea (Bannimara), Thespesia populnea (Bugari), Acacia arabica ( Kari jali)

2. The Committee suggests that the EC may be issued only for two years as approved in the plan period shown in the approved mining plan.

Based on the above submission made by the PP and also EMP proposed the Committee decided to recommend the proposal to SEIAA for consideration to issue of EC with the conditions that the PP Strictly adheres to,

1. The conditions laid in Karnataka Minor Mineral Concession (Amendment) Rules, 2013 vide G.O. No. CI 357 MMN 2012 dated 16.12.2013.

2. The stipulations/Guidelines issued by MoEF, GoI with regard to sand mining activities.

The Authority perused the proposal and took note of the recommendation of SEAC in its 82nd meeting held on 7th October 2014.

The Authority noted that Dr. Sarvabhoum Bagali, Ex-MLA, Indi, Bijapur District have filed an objection praying for rejection of Environmental Clearance to


42

this sand block. The reasons attributed by Dr. Sarvabhoum Bagali for the said objection are as follows;

1) The proposed sand block is having an area less than 5.0 Ha, therefore it may not be considered as per O.M. dated 24-12-2013 issued by the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India.

2) A barrage constructed at Hilli-Gubbewad village on the Bhima river is located within 5 km from the proposed sand block.

3) Water of the above said barrage stagnates up to Inam Shiragur and Padanur Villages even during summer. No stream mining is permitted as per the above mentioned O.M. dated 24-12-2013.

4) Mining activities in this block will result in pollution of drinking water that is being supplied to the neighboring villages on either sides of the Bhima River.

5) This sand block is an on-going sand excavation project, big pits to the depth of 7 mtrs (21 feet) have been already dug. This big pits are not filled up by Public Works Department and Sand Mafia.

6) Sand mining is to be done manually, if Environment Clearance is given the Executive Engineer, Bijapur may continue to violate directions of MoEF.

7) The Executive Engineer, PWD, Bijapur and Sand Mafia has done sand mining by use of Pokliner, JCB / Hitachi in contravention of the rules. He is likely to continue mining in contravention of the rules.

8) The vehicles transporting sand pass through Shiragur Village and cause noise pollution and air pollution in the village. These vehicles being very heavy damage the roads. It is difficult for small children and school going children to pass through this heavy traffic.

The Authority also noted that Dr. Sarvabhouma Bagali have alleged that this proposal attracts General Condition of EIA Notification, 2006 by virtue of being close to the Inter-State boundary and therefore need to be appraised as category ‘A’ project.

The Authority observed that the O.M. dated 24-12-2013 issued by the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India has been stayed by the Principle Bench of Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, New Delhi – Circuit Bench at Shimla in so far as it relates to the minor minerals like sand vide order dated 28th March 2014 in application No. 343 of 2013 and connected matters. Therefore the proposal need to be considered in accordance with the orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 27-02-2012 in IA No. 12-13 of 2011 in SLP (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, EIA Notification 2006 and the amendments made there on apart from the orders of the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, Principle Bench, New Delhi dated 05-08-2013 made in original application No. 171 of 2013 and connected matters.

In view of the above said statutory position the Authority is bound to consider all application seeking Environment Clearance for mining of minor minerals in an area up to 50.0 Hectares.


43

However, the Authority after discussion had decided to refer the file back to SEAC for re-appraisal keeping the above objections made by Dr. Sarvabhouma Bagali in view and sending recommendations deemed fit based on merit.

Committee took note of the decision of the Authority in the 122nd SEAC meeting held on 24th, 25th and 26th November 2014.

Committee perused the proposal from file and had decided to deliberate further after receipt of the comments from project proponent (Deputy Commissioner, Bijapur District) and reply for the letter sent from SEIAA.

The representative of the proponent and the RQP/Environment Consultant attended in the 141st SEAC meeting held on 30th June and 1st July 2015 to give clarification/additional information.

The committee observed that the case is still pending in NGT. There is a barrage near Hilli – Gubbevadi which supplies drinking water to Padanur, Shirgur Inam villeges. The levels of these places should be checked and impact due to mining has to be verified and to be submitted. The GPS coordinates of certain blocks are identical which leads to confusion.

The committee after discussion decided to recall the proponent after the submission of the following information:

1. Un undertaking from the proponent there is no sand mining in Maharashtra- Karnataka border

2. Consolidated sketch showing all the blocks and structures with GPS coordinates.

The proponent was invited for the 144th meeting of SEAC held on 5th and 6th August 2015 to provide required clarification. The proponent remained absent.

The Committee had decided to provide one more opportunity to proponent with intimation that the proposal will be appraised based on merit in his absence, in case he remains absent.

The proponent was invited to provide required clarification. The proponent remained absent.

The proponent has not submitted the replies sought by the SEAC in the earlier meetings.
